The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed is composed of fine-leaved, dwarf Grasses, which produce 

 closely interwoven, deep and elastic turf that maintains from year to year lawns of enduring green. 

 This continuous covering of verdure is obtained by including in the mixture Grasses which arrive at 

 their best during different months of the year, one variety constantly succeeding another. It is im- 

 possible to make an enduring lawn by sowing seeds of a single variety which will only grow vigorously 

 during a portion of the year. Kentucky Blue Grass, for instance — which is sometimes recommended 

 for lawns — grows but sparsely during midsummer, besides losing color during hot weather, when it 

 becomes a pale, yellowish green. The smooth and velvety sward produced by The "Hendersons" 

 Lawn Grass Seed remains at all times a dark green, rich and luxuriant. 



; The "Henderson" Lawn Grass is in reality as cheap as any other, notwithstanding its superior 



quality. For while many mixtures on the market weigh only 14 lbs. to the bushel, The "Henderson" 



J Lawn Grass Seed weighs 20 lbs. per measured bushel, being entirely free from chaff and other foreign 

 matter. (See engraving.) Full instructions in every bag and package.
